Chihiro explores the relationship between material and body, and between structure and consciousness, beginning from the titanium implanted in her spine. Metal functions as a mediator that links the inside and the outside, subtly shifting the boundary between the self and the world. Within this ambiguous zone, structure appears not merely as a physical framework but as a condition through which consciousness emerges.
Her interest lies in how things “stand” and in the changes this brings to a given space. She observes the moments when slight deviations in gravity, support, or balance—small dissonances in sound, light, or placement—generate a new spatial awareness. In her practice, she works with metal, light, sound, and other elements to assemble space itself as a single structural body.
The series New City is inspired by the etymology of Chiang Mai, which means “new city.” During a residency there, Chihiro paid attention to the city’s rhythms, habits, and environmental tendencies. Using thin aluminum sheets, locally found metal materials, and small components, she translates these impressions into spatial compositions. The resulting structures resemble architectural models yet remain inaccessible, shifting the viewer slightly away from a human scale and positioning the work as a “generative site” that continues to change in relation to environment and time.
Chihiro Honda (b. 1989, Japan) is an artist who works with metal, light, sound, and recorded media to examine the relationship between material and body, and between structure and consciousness. Her practice focuses on subtle shifts and tensions that arise between the internal and the external, assembling spatial structures that reflect and intensify these dynamics.
Recent solo exhibitions include Time, River, Bridge (2025, Mikawa, Kyoto), cell (2024, STUDIO STAFF ONLY, Tokyo), and The Island (2023, The White, Tokyo). Her publications include The Island, Parts (2025) and cell (2025).
